World Heritage Discovery

3-Day Lord Howe Eco Package

Lord Howe Island was officially inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1981 – one of the first islands worldwide to be selected for long-term conservation. Its exceptional natural beauty, its diversity of landscapes and biota and the high proportion of rare and endemic animals, plants and invertebrates make Lord Howe an outstanding example of independent evolution. Local underwater specialists Peter & Brian Busteed of Howea Divers are keen to show you this eco wonderland.
